I submitted a return request for three items from my order (2 camp chairs and a pair of bike shorts). These items, as per the tracking number for the return, were received by the return depot in ***********, ** on October 11th. Despite several emails to customer service, I have not received a refund. I've recently received communication from the company that they've process the return, but it is the incorrect amount (accounting only for the return of the chairs and not including the shorts).The original order # is ******** I have tried on several occasions to call or use the live chat, neither of which result in any response.At this stage, I have spent hours responding to emails, waiting on hold, etc. I expect my full return amount, which should be $137.99 plus additional compensation for the time and difficulty in trying to get this resolved.Business Response

Hi there,
I am happy with the companies proposed resolution; however, I don't feel comfortable closing the complaint until I receive the check they have indicated they are mailing. Thus far, they have not demonstrated good busines practices in handling this return and i have concerns regarding actually receiving these monies. Please let me know the best way to proceed in this manner!
Thank you,

Placed an online order 11/15/23 and received confirmation email. On 11/26/23 Eddie Bauer cancelled the order with zero communication, found out 10 days later when logging on to my account to see if it had shipped to see it was cancelled. Chat with customer service said order was cancelled because all items were out of stock but after checking the web site they were all still in stock. Customer chat had no explanation. I had bought a gift card to pay for the order because they were running a discount on them. I checked my gift card and it was not refunded. I waited almost two weeks and still no refund on the gift card so I called customer service on 12/04/23 and they said theyd have to escalate it and Id receive a call or email. Ive still not received any communication from Eddie Bauer and my gift card remains at a zero balance. I want my gift card refunded. Itll be three weeks tomorrow since this all started. This was a Christmas gift and now theyre holding my money hostage.Business Response

On Nov 11, 2023 I entered the Eddie Bauer (EB) store in ************ Mall. I was there to do a return from an online purchase.I was met by staff at the register, I tried to explain a concern I had with an item and it's return - I had received an item with no tags, & wanted to ensure It could be returned without issue. He completely disregarded my issues and began rifling through the clothing. I asked him to please listen to me, and then a blue haired girl/employee began telling me off. She would not listen either, was immediately on the defensive, then the attack, & kept cutting me off so nothing could be answered/resolved.The blue haired girl was exceptionally rude, abrasive, acerbic towards me. I advised her I would like to deal with someone else & was advised she was the only person of the 4 or 5 staff in the store who could do a return. She completed my return & told me not to come back.A few days later, I was back for a return, and dealt with *****; another EB employee, who apologized, she resolved my issues and all my concerns. The blue haired girl was not there and the store visit was enjoyable.On November 18, I entered the store and the same blue haired lady continued her verbal onslaught. She grabbed a bag I had placed on the counter, began dumping the contents, making a mess of my organization of clothing and packing slips. The reality is that until I gave her items requesting return, that bag was my personal property and she should not have been touching it. I asked her to leave my items alone till I reorganized them (there was a lot of clothing) and she became intolerable.She THREW a business card at me, told me to call and ask permission to come into the store from now on. I advised her she does not own the store, and I did not want to deal with her. She took my phone number to access my information, & accused me of being racist. I told her I was not racist I only had an issue with HER specifically based on her previous and current behavior. She took her cell phone and began what looked like taking pictures of my personal information from the computer screen as she had pulled up my personal information/account, to complete the return. She proceeded to say she WAS taking my personal information and I should just "watch what happens now." She is trusted as an EB employee having access to someone's personal information/address etc. - not to use it or threaten someone with it. When she indicated she now HAD my personal information on her personal device and I'd better watch out, this was a blatant threat. She also stated she would tell head office I am a racist to get me banned from the store, and told me I must have a very sad little life.On Nov 25, I was in the store, & went immediately to *****, relaying my grievances regarding these 2 previous altercations, who advised she would have the store manager ********, call me. On Monday, Nov 27th, ******** called me, and was advised I was threatened by an employee who had admitted taking my personal information for nefarious purposes. He laughed, and said he would have a talk with her.I advised I was filing a police report and that him "talking to her" was not sufficient. I requested the phone number to Eddie Bauer corporate head office, he refused to provide it, but stated he would find a way to resolve this. I advised I would file a complaint with the BBB, the ******** of ******** Protection, as well as speak with my lawyer if this was not resolved by the following Monday - Dec 4th. ******** promised to call me back Dec 4, but never did. I sent numerous emails to their customer service asking for the head office phone number and they also refuse to provide it. The number that shows up everywhere online doesn't lead to anything but an automated message and you cannot leave a voicemail.What has gone on is inexcusable!I want this girl terminated.Business Response

I am rejecting this response. Any time a customer receives an email response form their customer service department, after the email is sent to the customer, another email is sent requesting customer feedback regarding the interaction It gives the name of the customer service agent and asks you to rate their efficiency.On December 19, 2023, I received an email allegedly from "**************, Eddie Bauer Office of the President" stating the following:
"Dear Ms....,
My name is ***** and I am contacting you on behalf of Eddie Bauer's Office of the President. Your complaint was forwarded to my office for review and assistance.
I sincerely apologize that you had a negative experience in our store. I cannot fire an associate but I have forwarded your experience to the retail management team for review and coaching...
Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.
Sincerely,

They flat out lied about who was notified of the concern and did absolutely nothing to resolve it.
This matter will now be escalated as well as shared on social media, and will become a legal matter.

I placed order on 11/7 for two items, a sweatshirt and a parka, totalling $160.55 on 11/7. When the items had not shipped by 11/13, I contacted Eddie Bauer via chat. They told me they were behind and would ship my items the next day. One item shipped and I received it on 11/16. I f***lly received notfication that the second item shipped, but the ***** tracking information doesn't make sense. It shows:- It departed the ***** facility on 11/11 - A label was created on 11/14 Clearly it did not depart the ***** facility three days before a label was created.Then, I received an email showing the package would arrive 11/20. It is now 11/22, and it has not arrived.I contacted Eddie Bauer via chat, and they told me the package would arrive tomorrow, 11/23, which is not possible because 11/23 is the U.S, Thanksgiving holiday. Then, in the same chat, they told me it would arrive 11/29. At that point, I called the customer service line, but there was no noise cancelling, and I could hear other conversations in the call center and could not figure out who was talking to me and who was talking to other customers. I called back, and the they told me something similar--that my package would arrive on 11/23 or 11/30. It seems pretty clear that a package that departed the ***** facility on 11/11, for which a label was not created until 11/14, that did not arrive on 11/20 as the email indicated it would, and is now either scheduled to arrive 11/23 (a holiday), 11/29, or 11/30 is lost. I would greatly appreciate acknowledgement from Eddie Bauer that the package is lost, and rapid replacement. I need to know when the package is coming, because if it does not arrive *** timely manner at this point, I need to order one from a company with better shipping channels, but I need a refund to be able to do that. Timely delivery of a replacement parka or a refund would be acceptable resolutions.Customer Answer

I returned, by *****, to Eddie Bauer , the item # ********XL (Men's CirrusLite Down Hooded Jacket, size XL, Grape) from the order # ******** (order from April 11, 2023). It was delivered to Eddie Bauer on Sep. 26. (tracking # ************). From Sep. 26, 2023 to today, Nov. 21, 2023, I did not receive the refund for the item.

During this time, we will be unable to process refunds or price match adjustments to the order.

I went to my closest store (****) on 10/17/23, which is 45 min away 1 way, and returned an item purchased with loyalty rewards. I was issued a gift card by associate ****** and was told I could use it at any store or online. She never mentioned any time limitations. I went back to the same store on 10/24/23 and wanted to make a purchase using loyalty rewards + the gift card issued last week for a total of $30. After shopping for a long time and waiting in line, I was told that they were switching POS systems and the store could not take gift cards until ***! This should've been mentioned the prior week when the gift card was issued. A suggestion was made to use the gift card online, but shipping would cost an extra $9.99! I tried calling customer support while I was in the store and was on hold for 45 min and gave up. Additionally, the loyalty rewards expired that day, so there was no way for me to wait until Jan. to use them. So I was forced to use the $15 loyalty rewards on a pair of socks that cost $17. When I got to the register, associate ****** was there again. She rang me up and the total was <$15 since there was 20% off, so I couldn't use my reward, ($17*0.8)*1.096 tax = $14.91. I searched for a while and found something else to make up the difference. When I got to the register, associate ****** was there, who seemed to be the boss. This time, the original pair of socks rang up for $17 with no 20% discount. She said it was only a 20% discount if 2 or more pairs were purchased. I had only 1 pair in the original transaction, and they rang up <$15. Associate ****** was right next to her, so she asked her if she had manually entered in the 20%. She denied it, which is fine, but she also would not confirm that the prior transaction rang up <$15. This was extremely frustrating since i had to spend all that time trying to conform to all their restrictions and mistakes and couldn't even use the gift card I was issued the prior week!Business Response

Ordered and paid for parka on Oct 20/23. I was sent the shipping information on Oct 25th/23 saying my order was shipped out through Landmark global. The item has not moved since then. I contacted Eddie Bauer online and was told they were out of the product and were searching for one. I contacted them again today Nov6/23 as it still has not left the shipping site. I attempted to cancel my order and receive my money back only to be told that I cannot cancel until Nov 9th/23 as the order has shipped out. Except its not physically shipped out at all. Only the shipping info was sent to landmark global not the physical package. This coat was a birthday gift for my son. I now do not have the time to reorder or the money. I asked the customer service rep to cancel my order now and refund, he stated he cant cancel because its shipped out and can only cancel after Nov 9th/23. The first customer service rep stated an earlier date. I want my order cancelled and money refunded immediately. Why would a company that didn't have the actual product on hand create the shipping info and send out a notice to a customer saying it shipped?Business Response
